Griffiths Lab

Griffiths lab at Boston University and NEIDL. We work to develop medical countermeasures for highly pathogenic viruses and understand their pathogenesis.

#Ebola virus disease has a high case–fatality rate; there are no approved specific medical countermeasures, but adequate supportive and intensive care can improve outcomes.

Congratulations to associate professor of microbiology, Anthony Griffiths, PhD, on being awarded a @CEPIvaccines grant. These funds will support the development of vaccines against the highly deadly Nipah virus. More information here: https://t.co/9tLolluJD3

We are thrilled to share our new publication in @SciImmunology including preclinical data showing that our #antibody cocktail is active across #COVID19 variants of concern, including #Omicron #subvariants. Read it here: https://t.co/Gl7VDd318Q

It seems like almost every day there is another major discovery of broad, neutralizing antibodies to #SARSCoV2 that could be the foundation for pan-β-coronavirus vaccines

IMM-BCP-01, a patient-derived anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody cocktail, is active across variants of concern including Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 https://t.co/pe2Buz74VZ

[Griffiths Lab @GriffithslabBU]

What a great collaboration. And fascinating data too.

[Silvi Rouskin @silvirouskin]

Our most recent work on the full SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome structure in cells @biorxivpreprint ! Special thanks to our collaborators, the @GriffithslabBU.

@katjmcalpine @NanoLetters @neidl @BU_Tweets @BUMedicine @UCSDnews @UCSDJacobs Delighted to be part of this study. Such a promising technology.

[Katherine McAlpine @katjmcalpine]

Sounds like sci-fi, but it really works: Nano "sponges" prevent #coronavirus infection by soaking up SARS-CoV-2, deterring its ability to infect lung cells & replicate. Super hot @NanoLetters study by @neidl @BU_Tweets @BUMedicine @UCSDnews @UCSDJacobs https://t.co/gawu4z8YTs

[Griffiths Lab @GriffithslabBU]

Delighted that the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (@neidl) was invited to participate and be part of this outstanding team.

[Bruce D. Walker @brucedwalkermd]

Excited to be part of the first #coronavirus meeting, with George Daley, dean of @Harvardmed, joined by @ragoninstitute scientists, @MIT and @BU scientists, the hospitals, Moderna, and many others as we bring the Boston-Cambridge research community together to combat this.

[Griffiths Lab @GriffithslabBU]

This is an excellent introduction to #Ebola virus disease. Thanks to all the co authors: @guru_uhuru, Ian Crozier, @WFischerII, @hewlett_angela, @colleenkraftmd, Marc-Antoine de La Vega, @mjsoka, Victoria Wahl and Laura Bollinger. Special Thanks to chief cat-herder Jens Kuhn.

[Nature Reviews Disease Primers @DiseasePrimers]

Our NEW Primer on #Ebola virus disease is now live!

Yesterday we hosted @SSCLabQuips. What a great talk about the impact of obesity on influenza virus disease. Thank you Stacey.

[Griffiths Lab @GriffithslabBU]

Great discussions with future BU students at #BostonUniversityGraduateSchool recruitment event

[Defense Threat Reduction Agency @doddtra]

Another great reminder that, even while we work on #coronavirus great work is being done on #Ebola #flu #polio & so much more -- proud to be working w/ @vumchealth @NIH @HHSgov @DARPA @gatesfoundation on this @CellPressNews https://t.co/M61LgTbCE0 via @vumchealth

[Griffiths Lab @GriffithslabBU]

Exciting symposium @ragoninstitute to explore potential collaborations between @neidl and Ragon researchers.

[Griffiths Lab @GriffithslabBU]

Thanks to Duncan Wilson, @ChandranLab, @DiazGrifferoLab, and everyone else at @EinsteinMed for hosting me yesterday. I had a great time and learned a lot.
